"getit" is a short C program which uses anonymous FTP to retrieve a
file specified on the command line. To use it, run getit as:
getit host:path/file
-or-
getit path/file@host
-or-
getit ftp://host/path/file (That's the URC format used by World Wide Web)
For example, this file is available via anonymous FTP using
getit contrib/getit.tar.Z@export.lcs.mit.edu
which can also be written as
getit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/getit.tar.Z
or as
getit ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib/getit.tar.Z
"lsit" is a short C program which uses anonymous FTP to list the
directory specified on the command line. To use it, run lsit as:
lsit host[:path[/file]]
-or-
lsit [path[/file]]@host
-or-
lsit ftp://host[/path[/file]] (That's the URC format used by World Wide Web)
The "file" name can contain a wildcard character, '*'. For example, to
list the contrib directory on export.lcs.mit.edu:
lsit contrib@export.lcs.mit.edu
which can also be written as
lsit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/\*
or as
lsit ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib
To list only the "getit" files in the contrib directory on export.lcs.mit.edu:
lsit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/getit\*
(You'll need to quote the wildcard to prevent your local UNIX system
from globbing it.)
To "make" the UNIX version of lsit, simply use "cc -o lsit lsit.c"
